HE CAN TELL kurt’s taken to his return a lot harder than he lets on. scott’s never been that good at reading people, but at this point in his life, he knows kurt wagner. knows that he likes old school pirate movies, collects bibles, and quotes more theater than he’d like to admit. he knows that when the going gets tough, he’s got a smile and a joke to ease the pain –until the rare moment when he doesn’t. and those are the times that worry him the most.
he’s slurring his words a little, no doubt the product of another late night with logan testing whatever whiskey the canadian had been chugging that evening. these days, it seems they were all venturing out of their comfort zones to try and come to terms with reality. for scott, it’s the knowledge of his own mortality coming back to haunt him…memories of dying on the cold, unforgiving floor. for kurt…maybe it’s the same, but he’s still here, slurring through a joke to break the frown that seems permanently settled on scott’s face. kurt’s always been too kind to others, he thinks to himself.
❛ i know, pal. but it’s late and you gotta sleep –training is in the morning rain or shine. ❜ he responds, putting on a smile. it’s good to see him let loose, they all deserve a little time to be happy. they’ve earned it. so why does it break his heart all the same? by the time he finally is able to guide him upstairs to his room, kurt’s almost out like a light. scott smiles for a moment, shaking his head. ❛ what the heck am i gonna do with you, wagner? ❜ he whispers to himself, all fondness and relief. after pulling his covers over him, he turns off the lights, placing a kiss to his forehead before sneaking out.
